Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

HED J2 questions.

Anyone know much about the J2? Searching online doesn't give me too much info. Basically I am looking for an inexpensive front race only wheel to be used on my TT/Tri bike.

How deep is it?
Durability wise, would it hold up to a 190lb masher for 12-20 races a year?

I believe it's only 30 mm deep which is not enough to be truly aero. I'd go with a HED 3

Yeah, that's what I thought. I'm running a 25-27mm deep front right now, so there isn't too much more benefit. I'll probably wait until next year and do the H3.

Thanks.
